``<package>Config.cmake`` files as possible, by providing imported
targets. As well as matching how ``*Config.cmake`` files work, the
libraries, include directories and compile definitions are all set just

disadvantage is that ``*Config.cmake`` files of projects that use
imported targets from find modules may require more work to make sure
those imported targets that are in the link interface are available.

In either case (or even when providing both variables and imported
targets), find modules should provide backwards compatibility with old
